Digital BW, The Print

Hello Louis,

>...does WYSIWYG with a reasonable monitor get you close enough to the 
>final print?

My experience is like Joost.  I've found that perfect WYSIWYG isn't
possible because of the difference between illumination and reflected
light, but it's good enough that I can do most of the work on screen
before making the first print.  I also make my initial test prints
very small (3x4") to use less ink and paper. 

Sometimes I'm so close on the first print that only minor adjustments
are needed.  Other times when subtle differences are more important
and I get real fussy it requires several test prints.  It varies from
one image to another.  


Regards,
Clayton
